... strong and complex female characters?

The Power by Naomi Alderman

... non-linear storytelling and intricate timelines?

The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August by Claire North

If you found the fractured chronology and looping narratives of The Psychology of Time Travel compelling, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August will draw you in.
